I didn't calculate the figures myself

Hi,

These figures come from JLC.    smile

The thing is: both Gyrotourbillon 1 and 2  each follow a specific course in space, due to the double rotation. Apparently as I understand it it takes longer to the Gyro 2 to do the full travel to the original (defined as such) position. This is for both versions an ellipsoidal trajectory that needs several turns to be completed.

My interpretation is that the Gyro 2 goes faster and takes many more different positions than Gyro 1. Doing so it compensates (theoretically) better for positional errors.

Of course this is JLC's theory (if I understood it well). I don't have the means to  either  prove or deny . And I'm  tempted to  admit it as possible (my scientific spirit can't accept it as true until it is proven to me).

A huge watch! A dream watch! My dream watch!

Hope it helps.

Cheers

Dje

between the Gyro I and II. "The Gyrotourbillon combines two intertwined tourbillon cages, the first inner cage doing one rotation in 18.75 seconds and the second outer cage in 1 minute. This combination on 2 axes set at a 90° angle creates the ellipsoidal...
